Why is it important?
Anti-immigrant attitudes continue to increase in the U.S., particularly during presidential election periods. This measure can help assess the frequency and impact of immigration status microaggressions.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure, and I hope this scale can bring light to racial microaggression experiences connected to immigration.
